Exactly what I came in here to say. About this there can be no debate.
Oh- and McD’s fries haven’t been any good since they changed the oil they use, I think back in the 80’s. Now back then, they’d be on the top 5 list. Today they’re just a sorry-ass excuse for a french fry.
Bacon club sandwiches with a slice of dill pickle and potato salad.
Or really, really bloody rare salty steak.
Saag Paneer with a side of garlic naan and gulub jamun for dessert
Foie gras
Laap Gai
Filet mignon, Pittsburgh style, with horseradish mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli with hollandaise
Sea scallops
Steamed mussels in white wine and garlic, with lots of bread to sop up the sauce
Spaghetti carbonara
Biscuits & Gravy
Pepper steak
Belgian frites
Paella
OK, I’m prepared to be Pitted for this but, I don’t really get all the love for Oreos. I mean, they’re OK for a bagged cookie, and I’ve been known to eat a few at a party, but give me a homemade Chocolate chunk cookie, fresh from the oven, any day.
It’s the cream (creme?) inside. That stuff is crack.
Pistachio ice cream.
In no particular order:
Any smoked meat, particularly pork shoulder and rib tips or spare ribs
Gai pad grapao (Thai holy basil chicken)
Creme brulee
Foie Gras
Penn Cove mussels (particularly from Toby’s in Coupeville, Washington)
Otoro (fatty tuna)
Cheese in all its infinite varieties
Chicken paprikash with galuska/nokedli/spaetzle
Neapolitan-style pizza
Spaghetti (or other pasta) puttanesca
Ossobuco with risotto alla milanesa
Beef bourguignon
Chicken piri-piri
Jerk chicken
Tacos al pastor
and a whole lot more I’m forgetting
Add me to the list of people who just don’t get Oreos.
Chocolate chips, on peanut butter, on a graham cracker(or an Eggo waffle), microwaved, with a big glass of milk.
I had it once, at a Colombian restaurant. It tasted like very tender pot roast. Itw as delicious.
Ahhh, the Desert Island Food List:
White cheese dip at Mexican restaurants? What?
Is this a Tennessee thing?
Half of what I think my aversion to lengua is is that it seems like it would be wicked rubbery.
To hell with it, I’m getting lengua this weekend.
It’s an Eastern US thing: I’ve had it in FL, GA, NC, TN, NY, and some other places. Most restaurants that have it bill themselves as “Monterrey style” restaurants, if that helps.
Alas, here in San Antonio (I guess I should change my location, huh?) I might as well be speaking a different language.
I think it must be queso fundido (which means “melted cheese”). Here are some images.
My aunt served us lengua for lunch once. Didn’t tell us what it was until afterward. It was excellent.
My favorites:
Mamey ice cream - it’s been my favorite flavor since I was a little kid
Real tamales (real=the type they sell in Mexico City)
Freshly made corn tortillas with butter
Enchiladas suizas (corn tortillas filled with chicken moistened with cream and green sauce; the sauce is more cream and green sauce. Topped with a bit of melted cheese.
Puerto Rican chicken fricassee (chicken, potatoes, carrots, peas,olives, pimento in a tomato and wine sauce; served over white rice; yummy)
Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp
Lentils with homemade spätzle (my best friend’s MIL makes excellent ones)
Now I’m hungry.
That looks and sounds really damn good. I’m a big advocate of anything delicious and cheesy, really.
off to the test kitchen!
Dave? Dave Lister?
I’m sure you’re already aware of this delicacy.
But I’m more (and more) often than not wrong about the things I’m sure of.
So, just to cover the bases, dot the i’s, and cross the t’s:
One of the better things you can do with tomatoes.
IMHO.
Beef tacos
Black bean chili
Risotto
Salmon cakes
Dry smoked salmon
While the foods cited in the OP are all wonderful indeed, there is just nothing like a REALLY perfectly cooked steak.
I love the Steak For Two (it’ll feed 3) at Wolfgang’s, 33rd (or is it 32nd? I’m always in a beef coma when I leave) and Park. Fuck’s sake, have it before you die, people. It’d convert Gandhi away from vegetarianism.
Heaven. With some red cabbage on the side maybe, and a salad with cucumber and onion and feta cheese to start and a good German beer. We went to a local German/Hungarian/etc restaurant for Christmas Eve and had that and I was making happy sounds while I ate. 
Unagi is nice.
The tiny salad I had once at a sushi place: the ingredients were not shocking – various spring greens, some crab, some celery and carrot I think – but so much care went into each flavor and the preparation of each ingredient. This was given to me without my request before I had a plate of sushi there. It was the fifth or so time I’d eaten sushi but my first time to have this salad. It was, somehow, the salad that helped me understand the concept of sushi.
